We got the scoop last night on Saturday evening's canceled performance of On the Twentieth Century due to an ill Peter Gallagher. The show was canceled (because as is normal for a show in early previews), the understudy - James Moye - was not yet fully rehearsed.

Good news for audience members today, he was rehearsed last night and this morning and the show is back ON today, with Moye in the part of 'Oscar Jaffe' while Peter Gallagher recovers. For a look at Moye, we've got video from a recent appearance at 54 Below.

Roundabout Theatre Company presents a hilarious new production of On the Twentieth Century, the Tony-winning musical comedy from composer Cy Coleman (Sweet Charity), lyricist-librettists Betty Comden and Adolph Green (Singin' in the Rain), Tony-winning choreographer Warren Carlyle (After Midnight, ...Drood) and Tony-nominated director Scott Ellis (You Can't Take It With You, ...Drood).

Luck, love and mischief collide aboard the Twentieth Century, a luxury train, when the bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffe (Golden Globe® winner Peter Gallagher) embarks on a madcap mission to cajole glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (Tony® and Emmy® Award winner Kristin Chenoweth) into playing the lead in his new, non-existent epic drama. But is the train ride long enough to reignite the spark between these former lovers, create a play from scratch, and find the money to get it all the way to Broadway? This fun-filled musical journey to The Great White Way also stars Tony nominee Andy Karl (Rocky, ...Drood), Drama Desk nominee Mark Linn-Baker (You Can't Take It With You), Tony winner Michael McGrath (Nice Work If You Can Get It) and Tony winner Mary Louise Wilson (Grey Gardens).
